From the time we were babies we have been taught manners. We are taught how to hold a knife and fork and not to talk with our mouths full. We are taught how to shake hands and when to stand and when to sit and the way to introduce people.
Sometimes good manners in one place are very bad manners somewhere else. Almost everywhere eating together means that people are very friendly to each other. But in parts of Polynesia（波利尼西亚）it is bad manners to be seen eating beside each other. So they politely turn their backs to each other when they are taking food.
Some East Africans spit four times as a kind of blessing. They do it to show that they want a sick person to get well, or to bless a new-born baby. In most other places, spitting means something completely different. It usually shows an unhealthy habit. In many countries, it may mean that you hate someone. When we go to visit someone we say “Hello！”Or “How are you?" or things like that.
But if you are visiting an East African village, everyone will be very careful not to pay attention to you. The polite thing there will be for you to go quietly, without speaking to anyone, and sit beside your friend. You should wait until he has finished what he is doing and then he will begin talking to you.
In a village in Arab, a visitor will walk behind all the tents until he gets to the one he wants to visit. If he passes in front, he will be invited into each tent and asked to eat. It is rude to refuse.
( ) 41. From this passage we know .
A. it’s good manners to use a knife and fork to eat
B. it's bad manners to stand and talk
C. it's good manners not to talk with our mouths full
D. how to shake hands when we introduce people
( ) 42. In many places，spitting may mean .
A. you give a new-born baby the blessing
B. you want a sick person to get well
C. you hate someone
D. you show your love to your relatives or friends
( ) 43. If you visit an East African village，you .
A. should say “Hello！”or “How are you？” to others
B. should talk to the villagers quietly
C. should be very careful and not to pay any attention to others
D. must wait until your friend has finished his work
( )44. What does the underlined word blessing mean?
A. 讨厌 B. 喜欢 C. 礼物 D. 祝福
( )45. In a village in Arab, if a visitor passes a tent in front, he will .
A. be invited to eat B. refuse to get in C. be asked to leave D. ask for food

For many years, T-shirts were simple short-sleeved (短袖的) undershirts for men and boys. T-shirts used to be of one color-white. And because they were worn under shirts, they were generally not seen.
Today, T-shirts have become fashionable. They can be seen everywhere and on everyone. Women and little children wear T-shirts as teenagers, university students, and men do. T-shirts are worn on the playground or at the beach in town. They can also be worn for work. Yet T-shirts are still cheap and last long, as well as easy to care for. Smart, comfortable and convenient to wear, they have become one of Americans’ newest ideas in fashion. Although T-shirts are now of different materials and styles, the most popular kind is the traditional cotton T-shirt with a slogan (标语) or a picture on the front. A T-shirt may have a single word, a popular phrase, a picture of popular singers, or an advertisement. As T-shirts are becoming more and more popular, new designs are coming up all the time.
( ) 46. Which of the following is TRUE about T-shirts in the past?
A. There were different kinds of T-shirts in the past.
B. T-shirts were worn by most people.
C. There were many T-shirts in different colors.
D. T-shirts were usually worn inside.
( ) 47. Compared with the past, T-shirts have changed a lot. Which of the following is NOT true about their changes?
A. They are more and more expensive.
B. They are worn by more and more people.
C. They can be worn in more and more places.
D. There are more and more new designs.
( ) 48. What is the most popular kind of T-shirt?
A. The white silk T-shirt.
B. The cotton T-shirt with a slogan or a picture.
C. The wool T-shirt worn on the playground.
D. The wool T-shirt worn at the beach.
( ) 49. What can make T-shirts more attractive (有吸引力的)?

72. A sample：
It was fine last Sunday. I took part in our school's charity sale. It was held in the school canteen. There are many teachers and students joining in this activity. Some sold their old things, including clothes, toys and bicycles. Some brought something made by themselves, such as cake, cards, bookmarks, etc. Others exchanged their school things, like old books. In a word, we all showed great enthusiasm in this activity and had a better understanding of charity. In this charity sale, we got something that we can't get from our study. We know that we should not only study hard but give our love for others as well. So I think it's a meaningful day for us all.
